THE CLASS WILL
We the Class cf l9M9 in twelve individual and distinct parts
being about to passout of this sphere of education, in full possession
of a crammed mind welltrained memory, and almost superhuman under
standing, do make and publish this our last will and testament here
by revoking and making void all former wills or promises by us at
any time heretofore made on mayhap carelessly spoken, one to the
other as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour
And first we do direct that our funeral services shall be con
ducted by our friends and well wishers our superintendent and his
all wise and ever competent faculty, who have been our guardians for
so long only asking, as the last injuotion of the dying, that the
funeral be carried on with all the dignity and pomp that our worth
our merit, our attainments and our position as Seniors of 'grave
and reverend mien' must certainly have deserved
As to such estate as it has pleased the Fates and our own stron
hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose of the same as follow
Item
We give and bequeath to our beloved Superintendent Prof M C
Jones, our sincere affection, our llepeet reverence our heartlest
gratitude and the whole unlimited wealth of our eternal memory
Item
Again we give and bequeath to our beloved faculty all the
amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished
that much which we have imported to them in this way must have been
entirely new to them as well as to all teachers and students every
where and would throw much new light cn many a hitherto familiar
line of thought throughtout the year of science and learning even out
side the halls and walls of India Grace High School If the faculty
see fit they are hereby authorized to give out such of this informa-
tion to the world as they may feel the world is ready to receive
We trust they will also feel at perfect liberty to make use of all
such bits of wisdom and enlightenment for the education of the
classes to come after us This cf course is left entirely to their
personal discretion
Item
The following may seem but trifling bequest, but we hope they
may be accepted not as worthless things lavishly thrown away because
we can no longer keep them but as valuable assets tc those who may
receive them, and a continual reminder of the generosity of heart
displayed in our free and full bestowal
I To our class room teacher, Miss McCardell fond admiration
and ever enduring friendship for the Class of l9h9 in individual as
well as collective manifestation
2 To the Freshmen Class that is to be any overlooked cuds of
gum we may have left We have sometimes had to rid ourselves of
these in tco much haste to be able to pick and choose the most de
slrable means of disposal
3 To Bobbie Jackson Aveline leaves her cousins She feel that
she will not need them anymore She can now face the wor d behind
her own coat of paint
With Julia Mae Emma Sue feels that she can share her gift of
gab and still have enough left next leap year
Bobble Jean leaves her happy go lucky attitude to Gladys Parker
Betty Je leaves her big mouth and temper to Ldbby Ann
